I have 26 pets and I don't even love, let alone like half of them, but I can't seem to part with them at the same time. I don't know if it's because of the SP I've invested in their treasures or I'm attached to the stories I once associated with them, but oh my god I'm so tired of them lol.

I'd like to re-purpose them, because some of the ones I don't like anymore I put a lot of time in, but when it comes time to empty their treasures or change their names I freeze. Does anyone else feel like they don't love all their pets anymore, but can't part with them for some reason? Is anyone else indecisive with getting rid of, or changing their pets?

I like most of my pets. It helps that 18/32 are Serpenths, which is my favorite species. 5 mean a lot to me (my main pet, Colt, and three fanpets). It’s kind of interesting to ask myself if I actually like my pets, but I really want to keep all of my current ones—even the ones that don’t have anything all too impressive about them.

I would sooner change their names and/or buy new slots then get rid of them; mostly for sentimental and sunk-cost reasons, haha.

That said, I do have a handful of pet I’m not too excited about, but am reluctant to change or adopt out. For example, Grandmaster: he’s an old fan pet for a game I’m no longer passionate about, but couldn’t bring myself to change anything about him. I think the main reason is nostalgia: he and several of my old pets remind me parts of my life I’m fond of and would regret to part with. I think I’m content with treating him and that particular handful as my “trophy” pets haha.

I love that you embrace the serpenth so fully and wish you in completing your collection :) I really like how they all look with the headshots on your profile when you get to them in the pet list!

That sunk cost fallacy really is stopping me. One of my pets has 71 treasure spots or something insane...I can't just give that way (and I'm not paying to transfer them lol).

Thinking of them as trophy pets might help tbh. Like just put them up on the shelf and not forget about them, but forget about trying to stay updated with them and their treasures if I've lost interest. I feel that way about my pet In Vogue, she has an okay treasure, the goal was to have all the subeautique lines in her treasure...but they live in my wardrobe instead.

I should just see her as pet I invested my time in and not stress about whether she needs to be relevant to my interests to keep.

You hit the nail on the head for me right now. I got pets, looking at some and yeah- I would like to just shelve the ones I finished working on, those that won a spotlight. But I don't want to get rid of them either. A few I have that are wow great names but... what do I do with them now? a few have 100+ TC spots. But with the legacy names being a thing now, it's more I can't even change their names without loosing it. Annoying.

Yea, you guys are right, I thought, hey I LOVE ALL my pets, but I think some might be better off with other people. I have a lot of legacy names, older pets, and 1969 pets... I wonder if I should thin out the herd now XD

I've been playing on and off for years, so my pets (except for my Kerubi) have changed massively over time. Be it name changes, species and color changes, or adopting new ones after letting go of old ones. My bunch I have now I really like, especially my Devontis as they've become unexpected favorites (I want all the colors!), but... I have a love/hate for my Irion. I don't know why. I love Chibi pets, but something about her I can't fully embrace. Maybe if I change her name or change her species idk One day I'll figure it out or re-home her. lol

I don't even have to think it over. Nope, I don't like a few of my pets. I don't want to adopt them out because most of them I've put so much sp into training them. Heck, one is tier 11. Then add on for some reason I decided to have all my pets read books...

Except for Midnight. If I needed to I'd get rid of him. I created him as a zap and release but decided to feed and read to him.

I like all of my pets :) My oldest ones are 16 years old and sure, some of their characteristics are maybe a bit cheesy or exaggerated, but they are all a part of me and I could never separate from anyone of them. I would probably rework one of them who is far too cruel for my current tastes, but on the other hand, each story needs a villain so I did not touch him yet... If I create a new character, I always do so with the intention of keeping them. Sometimes I'm a bit unsure about my fan pets, not doing much with them and two are from a series that I'm not a huge fan of anymore (blaming the tv series of ASoIaF), but if anything, I would change them into OCs instead of letting them go.

i love all my pets, but thats kind of a problem itself lol. i cant bear to part with them, but i dont have room for all the species/colors i also want and cant afford pet slots frequently.

I've come back to the site after many years and while I love most of my pets, there are a few that are definitely a bit cringey by my standards now haha (looking at you, Thyme Lord, the "dark horse!").

I'm thinking I definitely need to repurpose him or someone else to be Cookie-themed, but I'm not certain who, or what pet color/species I would aim for..... (suggestions welcome.....)

As someone who currently has 76 pets in their roster, I can definitely say some get a little more love than others. I pretty much adore all of them except for a couple I hope to eventually adopt out. For me I guess it's a combination of legacy names and TC collections that convince me to keep them, even if the character I originally adopted them for ends up getting scrapped or given to another pet. (Cause what if one day an amazing idea hits and I no longer have that specific name that would fit? XD)

I've recently stepped back into Subeta and I have no idea why it never occurred to me that I could transform my pets' pages into character profiles??? Because I do enjoy writing/roleplaying so that's how I've been spending my days after I get off work ^^'

I'm quite attached to all my pets save Yoten and Eluan. Yoten I made specifically for the rift pet achievement, and Eluan I made for another achievement during....I think councilor's cruise? Eluan has become my secondary battle pet, so I won't give her up, but Yoten I might. The rest are all characters from my rps plus a single memorial pet for my mom, Yahrzeit. I've only recently gotten into doing profiles for them, though.

*waves at * rp profiles is definitely the way to go, in my opinion. That and fanpets seem to be popular. ^.^

I've been motivated recently to start working on my pets again. A big one I was stuck on was my gourmand. I loved the Glade Tigrean, but it just wasn't feeling right. I finally just decided to change it and picked the Chibi Urubu. Now I've had a lot more inspiration for TC and stuff (gonna be my fave foods lol) I'm definitely feeling a lot of indecisiveness about a lot of my current pets. I've been doing some good brainstorming sessions though and getting some ideas rolling :)

I'm usually pretty quick to adopt out pets that I've lost my love for, like my rift urubu. Most of my current pets have legacy names that I'm pretty attached to for now, and I've attempted to create nice pet pages for all of them. Some I like more than others, and some I just don't know how to code well enough to do what I want them to eventually be yet.
